Unicode Version 17.0
诹
U+8BF9 "诹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of consulting or seeking advice, often in a formal or collective context. It is composed of the radical for speech (讠) on the left, indicating its link to language or communication, and the phonetic component 取 (qu) on the right. Traditionally, this character appears in classical Chinese texts and idioms, such as in the phrase "咨诹善道," which means to consult about the proper way of doing things. In modern usage, "诹" is relatively rare but retains its scholarly and literary flavor, often used in written or formal Chinese to denote the act of deliberating or gathering opinions.
